With "Shinniness" on "High", color black and "Bumpiness" on "None" objects used to be kinda reflective - at least they would reflect the color in the sky... sometime in the last couple of days they changed, and now they just look black - as if Shinniness were set to None. Anyone else notice this? - thanks - Hetchy

Thanks Thili - I'm using a new intel iMac with a Radeon x1600 with 256 MB - I'll have a friend check it out and see if it has changed for them - thanks! - Hetchy

You're right - it is my hardware

It does seem to be my hardware - it is when I use a different machine that the shinny goes away - thanks!
